Monday Made It

July 6, 2015

Thanks for joining me for Monday Made It with 4th Grade Frolics! I’ve been busy the past week, but that is all about to change! I’m in for a week off! Posts have been scheduled and I’m ready for a little relaxation.

My bookshelf was a little on the boring side and I wanted to add a little pop to it. I purchased the paper from Michalel’s and then just added it to the back of the case. I love how it turned out.

While I am up in my office working, my kiddos love to be creative and draw, paint and color. I wanted to add a little area for them to display their work. I plan on expanding this area for them by adding more frames. I didn’t paint the frames yet. My plan is for them to get to paint them so it makes the area a little more special.

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw my post about my notepads that I have been making. I have the steps for you today and a free download. Click here or on the picture above to download the pages for free.

Step 1 – Print the pages. I print mine on half sheets of paper. You can take paper to Staples and they will cut it for you for fairly cheap.

Step 2: You need Tacky glue, two pieces of wood (mine are scraps), and two binder clips. Get the paper lined up and straight, then clip it to the wood.

Step 3: Glue the stack of papers on the end. I use a paint brush or finger. Make sure to really get a nice coat of glue on there and let it dry for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Enjoy your new notepads! Write, fill, rip, repeat!

I am working on a new pack of writing prompts. I hope to have it finished next week. I took a lot of pictures at the lake this summer so I want t share them by creating writing prompts to go with it. The lake reminds me of Duck Commander so these fun graphics from Melonheadz were perfect for this project!

I LOVE your notepads! I will have to make some of those for my third grade team this year. That is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for the idea! I love the special places for your kids’ artwork. I know that will be so special to them. Your writing prompt is amazing! I would love to see the rest of them when you are done!! Great job! Enjoy your week off!

I love your bookshelf!!!! I definitely need to add some sparkle to mine. Your notecards are such a neat way of making things personal. They look awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I made something similar to your writing prompts. It was for vocabulary words. Basically a picture with a character telling a sentence with the vocabulary word. It cracks me up, just like your Duck Commander! Good job!
